Yesterday I had one of those low energy kind of days. Around 4-ish I just couldn’t function any longer, so I decided to lay down on the couch and take a nap. This nighttime insomnia that I’ve had lately is starting to take its toll. Anyhoo, while I slept, my 13 yr. old son decided that he was going to surprise me by making dinner.

He surprised me all right. Here I was thinking (in my sleepy stupor) that he was going to throw a frozen pizza in the oven, or whip up a pot of macaroni & cheese. You know, something quick and simple. But no. All by himself he whipped up a delicious meat loaf, complete with cheesy-garlic mashed potatoes, and a side dish of corn. It was scrumptious!

But wait, there’s more…

Just as I was lifting the fork to my mouth my son said, “Wait! You can’t eat yet.” Startled and somewhat curious, I put the fork back down and gave him a quizzical look.

“I wrote a poem for you too, Mom. You can’t eat until after I read it to you.”

And so he did:

Your hair blows swift and strong
Your eyes know right from wrong
Your smile lights up a dim, dark room
With your beautiful presence;
The day will never be gloom

Aw jeez. I nearly cried. I was so proud of him.

Tonight, my 12 yr. old daughter made Hamburger Helper’s ‘Cheezy Hashbrowns’ for dinner. I tell ya what; I could get used to this. I didn’t even have to do the dishes.

Oh yeah. Life is grand. I LOVE my kids!

Hmmm, I wonder what they’re making for dinner tomorrow.

In the process of upgrading all of my blogs to Wordpress 2.1, I discovered a minor glitch. All of my link ID numbers had been changed; thusly, none of my links were showing up on my site.

It was easy enough to correct, but had I not found the reason for the error, I probably would have been pulling my hair out and screaming like a banshee until someone medicated me.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Yesterday, as I was surfing Wordless Wednesday posts, I ran across a “Boobie Name Generator” on Skittles’ blog.

‘Hey!‘, I thought; why should men have all the fun? We can name our body parts too! So I did.

Your Boobies’ Names Are…

Blouse Bunnies

Shortly thereafter, me and my Blouse Bunnies tripped over some boxes in my bedroom. (Those bunnies must have thrown me off balance again.) I fell towards the floor and landed on another pile of junk in my bedroom, but my right wrist caught the main brunt of the fall.

Ouch! That hurt like a mofo. It’s still rather sore today, so I think I’ll go take some more ibuprofen and quite typing now…

Wordless Wednesday

I have absolutely no idea where these words came from, they just tumbled out of the air and landed on my keyboard.

That turns into yet another week, and another, and another; until you wish time would just stand still and suspend you in limbo forever, because that would be less painful than actually experiencing the life you happen to be living right now?

You could just stand in the limbo bubble and watch everyone else struggle along.

Nevermind.

That would suck too.

Ever feel so utterly frustrated by a run of ill fate that you’re tempted to smash every single glass object you can wrap your hands around?

Then you would be forced to buy paper plates.

Thusly, there would be less dirty dishes to wash.

And since my dishwasher is sporadic at best,

this is a good thing.

Ever wish you had turned left, instead of right?

Or ordered dessert even though you were full?

When’s the last time you went out to dessert?

We should all do that more often.

Especially if it’s for chocolate.

Or ice cream.

[sigh]

One of these days I’m going to look back on this post and think…

I should have bought a Chevy.
